WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-Count Eugene

himself. continues to excite . great deal OF
comment In Washington. This comment 10 BY

day 10 true, he Is certainly not the proper
man to represent q wealthy syndicate Of
capitalists In China or anywhere else.
He said that Mitkiewicz entered the army
OF the United States as an alternative to
torn in prison In New York. He was assigned
to either the 164th or the 176th Regiment Of
New York Infantry. The name Of his Captain
was Davidson. Somehow he gained the conf
d,nce Of his Captain and succeeded in borrow
fnS watch and O considerable sum OF money
from him. He procured also leave OF absence
for twenty-four hours and failed to return. He
neglected to send the watch or tho money
back. 1t is mistake to say that he never
